Chapter 1534: Chapter 1524: Records

The veins on Mo Niao’s neck popped out, and he retorted forcefully, "This isn’t something for you to meddle with; I’d advise you to mind your own business." At this moment, Jiang Cheng realized the little girl behind him was gone and, without a care to confront Mo Xiao further, left with his brothers.

As he walked, he thought, once I get instructions from the boss, I’ll have this place thoroughly searched and find those children locked up.

Jiang Cheng and Mu Yu got back into the car. Jiang Cheng asked Mu Yu, "Did you see that little girl who ran out?" Mu Yu shook his head. "I didn’t notice her at all; if only we’d assigned a few people to watch over her, it would’ve helped us find the others, and it would be good for her too."

Jiang Cheng nodded. "I hope she can have a new life. For now, let’s not worry about it. I’ll go back immediately and apply to the boss. As soon as we get the go-ahead, we’ll turn this place upside down. I refuse to believe we won’t find the kids," he said and started the car.

The car sped down the mountain, and from beneath the back seat, the little girl cautiously held her breath and peeked out. Seeing the scenery outside the window as vast and bright, no longer the mountain filled with painful memories, she finally climbed out from under the seat.

Stretching her legs that had gone numb from running for so long, the girl quietly sat in the back seat, continuously rubbing her arms and legs.

Jiang Cheng inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror and was shocked to see a figure there. He quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road. Mu Yu was puzzled, not understanding Jiang Cheng’s action. "What’s the matter?" Mu Yu asked, confused.

Jiang Cheng pointed to the back seat, and both turned their heads sharply to look, surprising Mu Yu as well. Both their mouths seemed stuffed, unable to utter a word, as they stared at the little girl for several minutes.

Their reaction startled the little girl, leaving her flustered and unsure of what to do, nervously picking at her fingers and wanting to run off the car immediately. But soon after, Jiang Cheng and Mu Yu calmed down.

Mu Yu broke into a kind smile and said gently, "Little sister, don’t be afraid. What’s your name? Where did you come from? Why were you locked up there?"

Perhaps moved by Mu Yu’s long-lost kindness, the little girl couldn’t help but shed tears. She spoke up, "My name is Zhou Yu. I was trafficked here. That day, I was just playing at the doorstep... and someone came and took me away."

Mu Yu hurriedly patted Zhou Yu’s back: "It’s okay, don’t cry." Zhou Yu nodded, wiped her tears, and looked up at Jiang Cheng, asking, "Can you go save them, save those other kids? We get beaten a lot, and a girl even died there."

Jiang Cheng, seeing Zhou Yu’s crystalline, lively eyes still glistening with tears, was even more determined to save those children. He clenched his fist and said to Mu Yu, "We must save those kids!"

Looking at Zhou Yu, Jiang Cheng said firmly, "Don’t worry, brother will surely get them all out. But now, can you tell brother where were you moved to later?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "It should be right next to the room you were in today. I could hear you guys talking then." Jiang Cheng nodded thoughtfully and turned to start the car.

The wish to rescue the children burned like a flaming fire in Jiang Cheng’s heart, constantly reminding him. He now just wanted to immediately return to apply to the boss, get instructions, and rescue those trafficked children as soon as possible.

A few days later, the boss’s instructions arrived, and Jiang Cheng was approved to rescue the children.

"Wait for me at the foot of the mountain," Jiang Cheng instructed his brothers to fasten their seatbelts at the mountainside. Then he slammed the gas pedal to the floor, gripping the steering wheel tightly, his face tense, eyes fixed ahead.

The speedometer needle seemed pulled by an invisible force, reaching the top end in an instant. Scenery zipped past the window in a blur.

At this moment, his heart was filled with tremendous excitement, eagerly anticipating the moment he had been waiting for these past few days.

Jiang Cheng raced down to the mountain foot. "Is everyone here?" Jiang Cheng asked as he got out of the car. Seeing everyone nod, he said, "Okay, let’s go! We’ll charge up the mountain and rescue all the kids." With that, the group, led by Jiang Cheng, surged up the mountain.

"Boss, boss, it’s bad, Jiang Cheng is leading people up here!" A subordinate rushed in front of Mo Xiao. Having been lounging on the sofa, Mo Xiao jumped up and ran straight to the monitoring room to see.

On the screen, a group of people were halfway up the mountain, led by none other than Jiang Cheng. Their imposing momentum and earth-shaking footfalls kicked up several layers of dust.

Seeing this, Mo Xiao was taken aback, pacing frantically, grabbing a subordinate, and ordering, "Quick, inform all the brothers to move and transfer the kids at once! Make sure it’s done before Jiang Cheng arrives!"

"Yes." The subordinate ran out hastily, while Mo Xiao was left even more anxious, rubbing his palms soaked with sweat, wiping his brow constantly as sweat dripped down his face. Mo Xiao’s subordinates ran to the place where the kids were kept, kicked the door open, and shouted at the children roughly, "Get up, you’re being moved, hurry up!" Frightened, the children started crying.

The crying made Mo Xiao’s already anxious subordinates even more flustered, yelling, "Crying all the time, what’s there to cry about, shut your mouths!"

The subordinates shouted while dragging the children out. Some of the older kids stopped crying, trembling as they followed Mo Xiao’s subordinates out, but the younger children cried even harder.

In no time, Jiang Cheng and his brothers almost reached the top of the mountain, but the children’s transfer had barely progressed. The more they cried, the more anxious Mo Xiao’s subordinates became, and their anxiety only made the children cry louder.

A subordinate hastily went to report to Mo Xiao. "Boss, it’s too late, the kids are crying so hard we can’t move them, and Jiang Cheng is about to be here." Mo Xiao’s face flushed with anger, "What am I feeding you all for every day!"

Mo Xiao took a deep breath, pushing that subordinate aside roughly, and ran to his room.

In his room, Mo Xiao scrambled to grab things, hurriedly stuffing his belongings into a suitcase. Clumsily, he shoved his transaction records into a bag and into the suitcase.

He fumbled with the suitcase clasp, his hands shaking like they were electrically shocked, finally managing to fasten it after several attempts.

He promptly called his subordinates, ordering them to bring his car around. Normally leisurely and privileged, Mo Xiao now walked like a thief, hastening his steps as if the wind were at his heels. He quickly checked the room to see if he had left anything behind.
